Use this Knowledge Script to stop Windows services in response to an event.
NOTE:If the service you specify has dependent services, you must list the dependent services before the primary service. For example, SQLServerAgent is a dependent service of MSSQLServer. To stop MSSQLServer and its dependent service, specify SQLServerAgent,MSSQLServer for the Service name(s) parameter. In cases with multiple dependent services, specify the most dependent service first and the least dependent service last.
